SERVICE DOG PSA

So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)

I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up

If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help

Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him

I need somebody I could rant to about the ABSOLUTE INJUSTICE HOP HAS FACED AS A CHARACTER. WHENEVER I SEE SWSH MERCH THEY ALWAYS LEAVE OUT HOP. BUT OH MARNIE AND BEDE ARE THERE. MOTHERFUCKER I AM GOING TO KILL YOU STOP BEING A COWARD AND GIVE ME MY HOP. HE IS CONSTANTLY ERASED AND PUT DOWN AND IT PMO. HOP IS NOT ANNOYING AND OVERCONFIDENT HE IS TRYING TO MAKE HIMSELF COOL. HOP IS A PRETEEN. AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON HOP’S ERASURE IN HIS OWN GAME. IN HIS OWN FAMILY. BROTHER I MIGHT BE PROJECTING BUT THE FACT THAT LEON IS SO TREASURED AND FAVORED FUCKING MESSES WITH YA. ITS SO CLEAR HOP IS TRYING TO BE LEON. HE’S AN “ANNOYING FANBOY” BECAUSE LEONS HIS OLDER BROTHER. THAT HES CLOSE TO. I HATE YOU SWSH. YOU HAVE CREATED A CHARACTER SO GOOD AT BEING PATHETIC AND SUPPRESSED THAT PEOPLE HATE HIM. HOP ISNT EVEN ALLOWED TO HAVE A PROPER EMOTIONAL ARC. HE HAS TO PUSH IT DOWN. BOTH FOR THE STORY AND FOR THE OTHERS. HOP IS IN LEONS SHADOW AND IT FEELS LIKE THE FANS IGNORE THAT AND JUST PUSH HIM TO THE SIDE AS “ONE DIMENSIONAL.” HE’S NOT. ONE OF THE BIG POINTS OF HIS CHARACTER IS THAT HE ACTS. HE ACTS CONFIDENT. HE ACTS SELF ASSURED. HE ACTS LIKE HE DOESN’T HAVE ALL OF THIS SELF DOUBT CRUSHING HIM. LEON BECAME CHAMPION AT TEN. THATS SUCH A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT THAT WOULD OVERSHADOW ANY OF HOP’S. HOPS DEAL IS BEING PUSHED DOWN THE SAME PATH AS LEON AND TRYING TO BE BETTER. TO PROVE THAT HE ISN’T JUST LEON’S ANNOYING BROTHER. BUT HIS OWN PERSON. GRRRRRR IMAGINE LIVING LIFE KNOWING YOU ARE ONLY KNOWN FIR YOUR RELATIONS TO SOMEONE ELSE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE ARE NO MEDALS OR EVEN FUCKING PICTURES OF HOP LIKE THERE ARE LEON. IMAGINE EATING BREAKFAST AND HAVING TO STARE DOWN A REMINDER OF WHAT YOU’LL NEVER LIVE UP TO. BROTHER. GRRRR HOP’S IDENTITY IS LEON. GOOD CHUNK OF HIS LINES BRING UP LEON, HIS ENTIRE MOTIVE IS BEATING LEON, THE RARE LEAGUE CARD THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PERSONAL HAS HOP IMITATING LEON. GRRRRRRR I AM FUCKING TWEAKING OUT. EVEN IN POKÉMON MASTERS, HIS NEO-CHAMPION SUIT IMITATES LEON. I MIGHT BE LOONEY BUT I HAVE A POINT. I’VE BEEN THERE. FUNNY ENOUGH JUST LIKE HOP HYPER-FIXATES ON LEON I HYPER-FIXATE ON HOP. ITS COPING. ITS NEEDING SOMETHING, EVEN IF ONLY A IDEA TO FALL BACK ON. IT STARTS SMALL BUT IT GROWS INTO A OBSESSION YOU SINK YOUR NAILS INTO IT AS YOU TURN EVERYTHING INTO IT FOR THE COMFORT IT GIVES. YOU NEED IT. IT BECOMES YOUR PERSONALITY. IT BECOMES YOU. AND YES THIS SECTION IS ME PROJECTING BUT ITS FROM EXPERIENCE OF WHAT HE MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH. I HATE YOU HOP POKÉMON. YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT YOU GOT. BOTH FROM YOUR OWN MAKERS, YOUR OWN GAME AND THE FANBASE. HOPEFULLY YOU’LL GET YOUR OWN OFFICIAL PLUSH ONE DAY… HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL RESPECT YOU.

I want to draw fanart of my fic so bad but APPARENTLY I am too shy to even draw Hop for some ungodly reason, so I’m sketching clips of Leon from Twilight Wings until I feel confident enough to draw Hop 😭

I'm sorry, WHAT?

Firstly, Jason already knows this. What makes you think Jason, the kid who was a THIEF out of NECESSITY, whose father was a criminal to SUPPORT HIS FAMILY, doesn't know that "sometimes criminals have no choice"? Yeah no fucking shit.

Second, that IS what DC has been doing. All they've been doing is misinterpret Jason's morality and try to teach him 'the value of human life!!' and 'criminals can be redeemed!!' as if that's what his ideology was opposed to.

Jason Todd how misunderstood you are..

I wish people payed more attention to details in the Tony's Hamilton performance.

Daveed Diggs was dressed like a black panther (black civil rights activists group, the beret and gloves are tied to that movement).

The King didn't say anything, just the "la da das".

"History has it's eyes on you" was there for a reason.

All of them were wearing black which is considered a mourning color.

While the King was dressed in red which is Republican's color. King George was portrayed as a tyrant, it's basically them saying that the republican party is tyranny.

Lights at the end represent the White House.

The "immigrants we get the job done" part wasn't there for a reason.

This performance was a protest. All art is political.

Percy had always known that she only had so long, she’d been born with a noose around her neck after all. She knew it was only a matter of time, and she’d accepted that. Skin marked with the scars from battles she’d never wanted to fight in the first place and armed with a responsibility she’d never asked for, she fights for gods she’d never really believed in. She’d been okay with that being the end.

Ethan Nakamura changed that. He changed everything.

Yet in the end, they're still dead.

Or;

Even when you change things, tragedies can’t be unwritten, not even by the gods.

just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!

I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️

a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @

so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.

PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.

AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.

Reblog if

It’s 104% okay to come to your DM and just say, “Hi, can we be friends?” And then start asking you random questions.

It’s false that Bucky has no character development in the thunderbolts (seeing a lot of those comments, surprisingly)

In TFATWS Sam tells Bucky to be of service to the people he wants to make amends to, instead of just avenging by attacking those he enabled while working for Hydra.

So Bucky tries public service by becoming a congressman because he thinks he also needs to change his modus operandi while making said amends. But he’s obviously unhappy and impatient with the process. He’s unfamiliar with it and never really settled into it fully.

In Thunderbolts, we see him balance out the avenging and amending by accepting his strengths and leaning into his advantages to contribute in the way that suits him the best - by being a leader, guide, and mentor, and kicking ass in the field. He doesn’t run away from the arsenal of special skills he picked up along the way, even if they are connected to his past horrors, because he can do the most good with them now.

It looks like good character progression. And I’d like to see him come into his own more as a Thunderbolts member (let’s be real, I don’t think that other new name is going to stick).

they could never make me think sejanus was an idiot for wanting change and trusting snow. they could never make me think wyatt was an idiot for giving his life for someone with zero chances of winning. they're both good people and were willing to die for it. no matter what you say i respect and love characters who are like that

[lookingthroughmirrors]

just stab me why don’t you???

Do you think Wyatt Callow died early protecting Lou Lou so that people back home made no money on his death. He knew his odds, he knew he wasn't supposed to die protecting someone, that he wasn't supposed to die in the bloodbath, and that's why he did it. One last fuck you to the people trying to make money on his death.

Trying to explain to people online that I find inherit value in jason todd as a character rather than his role as a plot device in the 90’s. Like sorry but I don’t really care that you think he had more value as dead weight over the head of every bat adjacent person. I want him to be the main character of his own tragedy instead, and then grow from that too.
